The American Ship General Clarkson is arrived at Plymonth in, 130 days from Cantori, detained by His Majesty's Ship Hyacinth. She 'brings intelli gence that the Albion (Country Ship) caught fire and Was burnt, with a valuable -cargo of silica', and upw4rds of two million doliata on board :• Sir E. PELLEW was before ) Batavia when the, General Clarkson passed the Stieights. The .13industan, of 54 guns, has just arrived at Plymouth, from Sir CHARLES COTTON'S Squadron off Lisbon, with several Passengers, some pergons of dig tir4ion who fortunately made their escape fiom that capital .They mean to proceed to,tbeir lawful Mo narch in the Brazils. . The accounts they give of the deplorable condition of Portugal, under. French tyranny, more than confirm all the late.nielancl - ,oly recitals from that quarter, Such are French ji.ater-' oily and prOtiaion ! TiE Staiii-a arrived at Spil head last night, aftei landing Mr. ROSE and his suiie at ,T::,ynaitigton. THE extraordinary decision of Sir JAmas MACK iNTOSH, hi the Prize-Court of Bombay, or rather 'the extraoreuti'y speech accompanied ;t, did not, as a Alorning Paper Which, has taken up the subjed. supposes, stun us into silence, for we were' disposed to take up the subject, and to o, press our surprise at such au unprecedented event. We agree with the Paper alluded to, that it is a very important matter. It ought not to pass without due discus sion; .and We doubt not that It will be attended to at a propertime, and in a proper plaCe. respeCt the high talents and great attainments of Sir .NNES IvlicKiNrosn, and doubt 1).0t that his thotives.ivero pure upon' the occasion alluded to; but when we find that a Brit*:Sh Judge says, he considers " the Law of Nations as paramount to the histruCtions of his Sove reign," and absolutely decides in opposition to thotai instruaions, we may reasonably be alarmed at such doctrines i and still uore at such coudua. Sir JAMES might Well say, " he believed he was the first and isnly Judge who bad ventured to pronounce such a doEtripe,,7 and though, perhaps, many Judges have ventured to disobey the instructions ofthe power from which their, authority emanated, yet we con ceive that Sir JAIISs will have reason to say that be -is the first and only Judge who has ventured to act upon the. princi_ple which has laid down 'for his judicial condua.

SECOND EDITION• SUN-OFFICE, THREE O'CLOCK, P. M. WE are unable to communicate to our Readers the details of the Negociatioo between Mr. ROSE and the American Government, but he has so far succeeded in his mission, that the affair of the Che. sapeake is adjusted, and upon that point therefore there is no reason to (Ape& a War with America. The American Government have also declared, that in the piesent state of Europe, they Wink it necessary to continue the Embargo; but it is not done with any hostile view to this Coun try M particular. EItbKINE, we understand, remains in America. We are „glad to hear that galleries are be erceeti in Whitehall Chapel for three thousand of the Guards, during their attendance on divine service. The late Countess-Dowager of . Motat, was a truly estimable character. She was at all times the liberal Patroness of distress, and particularly the warm friend of unproteoed Genius.--4-ier kindness to DERIODY was uncommonly zealous and:persever ing, and if he had availed himself of it properly, he might have been a living ornament of British Litt ra On Wednesday evening two Brit - i;liton fishermen, John Hughes and Henry Mltick, 'lately taken by a French Privateer, and carried into Dieppe, arrived at their own Port. They lett France on Tuesday even ing in a boat, provided for them by an order from the French Government to the Captain of the Privateer who captured them. Every expence was ordered to be paid by filth, and the boat was fitted out.under the superintendatice of the Commissary ot Marine. The fishermen were confined in Dieppe Caatle, and treated remarkably well. The principal inhabitants raised a sum of money for them, to the amount of about ten pounds. Their boat was found in every necessary, provisions, wine, ancl . br . andy, enough to last thcan had they continued at. sea fur a 'month. When they were conducted front the Castle to the Quay, they were not permitted to take any :letters, and afters.vards a most diligent search was made, but none found on their persons, though they mau Waged to secrete some. They had Eoglish colours given Ahem, which they hoisted prior to their, leaving the harbour. They saw the bye-boat at Dieppe, which was lately taken by sonic French Prisoners at Portsmouth. Two of our men were cruelly treated : one was stabbed in the face and back, the other in the breast. They are both in the hospital at Dieppe Castle, and are likely to do ten. Five Privateers left Dieppe on Mondaynigl.n. There are several Prizes there ; one a very valuable \Veit Indiaman, sent in a few days ago. The fishermen heard, before their departure, that BUONAPAUTE left Paris last Sunday se'noiglit for Lisbon. Dr. Pcossctt, Prebendary of Durham, is appointed Archdeacon of that Diocese, in the room of the late Dr. and the Rev. Mr. NICHFORD, Chaplain to the Bishop of Durham, is appointed to' the Vicarage of Hurt, in the same County. TTIAVELLING:—Lord CLARENDON, in his own life, mentions, that in' the spring Of 1642, when OtAttLits I.lteld his Court at York, while the Par liament was sitting-in London, some gentlemen un dertook to convey intelligence to and trom the King, which was done in the following expeditious man ner :—lf a letter was dispatched from London about twelve o'clock on Saturday night, the King's answer was always received by ten on Monday morning. This rate of travelling seems very extrordinary ; for the whole distance, being about 396 miles, if two hours be allowed for , reading iltul answerink the dispatches, the messengers must have gone without intermission between 1 e and 13 miles. an hour. Probably the Gentle Men rode their own horses, and had proper relays ; but in the state of the roads at that time, such a' continued speed must have been a prodigious. exertion. LoNomverv.—A respectable man, aged. Ito, is seen daily . in the streets of Islington, walking ,with out a scick. He at present receives a small pecuniary aid from the parish, but has long refused to go into the 'work house, though inindigetit cirentustances. About a week since, - rit NObleman's Viamekeeper, in Kent, shot a, hare; which on taking up he found to be rery . big with young; he therefine opened her with care, and drew forth two living leveretil, on being wiped dry, skipped abrint the dead animal', an-1 actually sucked her as long is watizith would admit the flow of milk. One of them died soon afterwards; but the other, we believe, is in a fair way of being reared. M.. DOIJUTT RICHARDOTT, of France, ha; long pr6ctised with success the following method of curing cattle whose stomachs are swoln from having fed upOrt wet forage. He adininistered to the ani mal- the twentieth part of .a pound of gunpowder, nibted in a pint of milk, when first seized with the eholic from eating grass 'or clover highly charged with dew. This remedy was :zome time since an nounced in the French Journais; but M. Iticnstt mar has been the first, to "publish the results of its application. Yesterday morning a servant in the employ of McSsrs. Si arkey and .L rlings, Ale-brewers, in Broad street,,k.',lrrnaby-marker, tell into a mash-tub of hod wort, and was so terribly scalded, that he was taken to the -Middlesex Hospital without hopes of recoticry. _ Sett:um—A Gentleman came to Northampton a few , days ago, front London, put up at an inn in dint town, and shot himk4f. in consequence of the in vestigation before the Coroner's Jury, it was)earned, that his, father, a few years was asoachmaker near Park-lane, and had left a fortune, which be•ttad not spent.

Some accounts were yesterday received from the Continent, by which we learn, that at Antwerp and at Bourdeaux a number of American Vesiels Are still detained under BUONAPARTE'S Dectee, some of which are expelled to be condemned. &lONA PARTE is stated to have left Paris for *Portugal:— This account is corroborated by some fiiihermen re turned to Brighton from Dieppe, where they had been detained. They state, that previous to their departure, they were informed that NAPOLEON had set_out on Sunday se'night, for Lisbon. The fate of that unhappy country will therefore very shortly be decided.
